§05 — Origin
Why I started this.
I grew up in Jakarta, where Milo was my whole world.
He was a golden retriever — always moving, always up for another run, always ready for whatever came next. I was eight years old and he was my first dog, and I loved him the way kids do: completely, and without thinking too hard about it. We'd play until we were both exhausted, and I'd reward him without a second thought. That was just how it was.
I moved to Melbourne for university in 2017, and the city quietly changed the way I see things. Coming from Jakarta, the shift was noticeable — the way people here read labels, ask questions, choose materials. A culture that treats what goes into and onto your body as something worth caring about. I absorbed that slowly, and it stuck.
It made me think back to Milo. Not just what he ate, but everything around him — the plastic bowl that stained no matter how often I cleaned it, the cheap gear that wore down fast, the products we never questioned because nobody told us to. He was an active, healthy dog. The life we gave him was full. But the products around him didn't reflect that.
SteelPaws exists because your pet's environment matters as much as their lifestyle. Clean materials. No porous surfaces, no biofilm, no shortcuts. Products built to actually last — because a dog like Milo deserves gear as good as the life he lived.
